Used for TV
broadcast enhancement, Internet
eReplay, interactive TV, coaching
purposes and to provide strategic game information,
SuperVision PitchTrax uses
QuesTecs patented tracking
technology to create a unique
three-dimensional view of the
exact trajectory, movement, speed
and ultimate plate-location of
every pitch thrown during a game
the instant after each pitch
crosses home plate. Because
SuperVision PitchTrax is a
three-dimensional perspective it
can be shown from any angle or
zoom level and it can better
illustrate the true movement and
location of the baseball than any
TV camera angle can.

SuperVision
PitchTrax replays can be shown
from any one angle or can be
animated from one perspective to
others in its 3D environment
which includes a digitally
created field and background
designed to look and feel like
the actual stadium where the game
is being played. In addition,
because each pitch is
automatically stored by the
software (both throughout the
game and throughout the season)
any sequence of pitches can be
instantly recalled and displayed
individually, as a full-screen
group or as a split-screen
comparison.

This
pitch-grouping feature allows TV
networks to show the
pitch-sequence to any hitter for
a just completed at bat,
immediately after the decisive
pitch has crossed home plate. It
can also display any number of
pitches in any order to
illustrate crucial pitches, key
at bats, enticing matchups, or
pitching tendencies. For example,
the pitch-grouping feature might
be used to show the location of
all the pitches that resulted in
hits before a pitcher was pulled
in favor of a reliever, or it
might show the pitch-sequences
used to strike out a .320 hitter
three times in a game. Because
SuperVision PitchTrax stores
every pitch throughout the
season, the grouping feature
could also be used to show how a
particular relief pitcher worked
to a certain slugger the last
time they faced one another
before the matchup actually
occurs again in todays
game. Any group can be displayed
as a full-screen graphic, as a
split-screen comparison (between
two at bats for example) or as a
split-screen combining any other
video source with the SuperVision
PitchTrax display. All of
SuperVision PitchTraxs
features combine to make it the
most comprehensive tool in
baseball when it comes to
illustrating the difference
between certain kinds of pitches,
describing pitching trends within
the game, showing outstanding
pitches made or costly mistakes
given up, and comparing key at
bats and situations during a
game. SuperVision PitchTrax
brings new color to broadcast
commentary (FOX Sports Net
Ohios color-commentator
Rick Manning says, "I feel
naked without it
anymore ") and adds
unique replay options during
television coverage. Importantly,
SuperVision PitchTrax can also
generate revenue for the
television networks as a new
medium for advertiser
sponsorship. And, as with all of
QuesTecs products
SuperVision PitchTrax can be
applied into other areas, such as
webcasting, "Interactive
TV" and video game
development as well.

Beyond its
applications in broadcasting,
webcasting and "Interactive
TV," SuperVision can also be
used as an aid to the players,
coaches and team management. To
date, the system has been used by
the Anaheim Angels, Atlanta
Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles,
Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs,
Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati
Reds, Cleveland Indians, Colorado
Rockies, Detroit Tigers, Florida
Marlins, Houston Astros, Los
Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets,
New York Yankees, Oakland
Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates,
San Diego Padres, San Francisco
Giants, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays and
Texas Rangers, during games which
aired over various television
networks.

In addition
to a growing number of regional
television contracts during the
regular season SuperVision information was
most recently contracted for use on an
international scale by FOX Sports.com and
WorldSeries.com for the 2001 World Series
interactive hitting game "Hit
The Pros". SuperVision was contracted
the previous two years by CBS
Sportsline and MajorLeagueBaseball.com for
Internet coverage of the 2000
All-Star Game from Turner Field
in Atlanta and the 1999 All-Star
Game from Fenway Park in Boston
and during the World Series
classic between the Yankees and
Braves. 1998 saw SuperVision as
the star attraction on Williams
ChoiceSeat in-stadium interactive
system during the World Series
between the Yankees and Padres.
And in 1997 SuperVision PitchTrax
was contracted nationally by NBC
Sports during its coverage of
both the National League
Championship Series and the World
Series between the Florida
Marlins and Cleveland Indians.

Efforts are
also currently under way to
further introduce SuperVision
PitchTrax internationally, with a
strong emphasis being focused on
Japanese and Australian
professional baseball.
